Not read much this year, boohoo. What I have read:

1. The Gathering Storm - Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson
2. Neuromancer - William Gibson
3. The Way of Kings: Part One - Brandon Sanderson
4. The Way of Kings: Part Two - Brandon Sanderson

I've currently got so many significantly read books I should have a few more shelved throughout October.

Currently reading (in order of frequency):

Dune - Frank Herbert
Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Nietzsche
The Difference Engine - William Gibson & Bruce Sterling
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - John le Carre

39. Dan Abnett - Traitor General

I've noticed that the books that are less centred around Gaunt are the better ones...

40. Dan Abnett - His Last Command

I'm reading it in Dutch actually; it doesn't happen that often that international books get a Dutch translation before an English one, does it?
Personally, I didn't enjoy it as much as some of his other works, but it's still quite enjoyable. (ha, I see you've read 'Hardboiled Wonderland'; that's definitely my favourite!)
